August Spies quotes

The day will come when our silence will be more powerful than the voices you strangle today. (August Spies)
Anarchism does not mean bloodshed; it does not mean robbery, arson, etc. These monstrosities are, on the contrary, the characteristic features of capitalism. Anarchism, or Socialism, means the re-organization of society upon scientific principles and the abolition of causes which produce vice and crime. View quote
August Spies
We did not want bloodshed, for we are not bandits. We would not be socialists, if we were bandits. /.../ When the preacher of the truth meets the death penalty, well - proud and defiant, I will pay the price. View quote
August Spies
Can any one feel any respect for a government that accords rights only to the privileged classes, and none to the workers? View quote
